A few days later, the delegation from Luotian City Junior Spirit Master Academy finally arrived.
Principal Su and Yu Xiaogang personally went to welcome them with Li Daotian and the others.
The other side had brought six children, all tall and sturdy, nearly all around five feet seven.
Li Daotian was a full head shorter than them.
"Principal Su, are these the promising students from your Notting College?"
After exchanging pleasantries, one burly student looked at Li Daotian and the others and spoke rather rudely.
Principal Su glanced at him, and his expression shifted slightly.
The boy was five feet seven and exceptionally brawny, his physique almost comparable to Principal Su's own.
His Soul Power was not weak either.
One look was enough to tell that he was a formidable character!
"Haha... Principal Su, this is the student I mentioned, Xiong Zhuang, our school's top genius!"
"His Martial Soul is the Savage Bear, and he was born with Brute Force Bloodline!"
At that moment, the teacher from the other academy smiled as he introduced the burly student.
Principal Su's expression changed again. He could tell that these people had come with ill intent. Their purpose was clearly to throw their weight around in Notting City.
He had thought Li Daotian's talent was already extraordinary, but compared with this Xiong Zhuang, it seemed somewhat lacking.
Moreover, the other boy possessed innate brute strength, a tremendous advantage against the still-young Li Daotian.
This time, Notting College was afraid it would lose face!
Before Principal Su could say anything, Li Daotian stepped forward. Looking at Xiong Zhuang with a bright smile, he said, "My name is Li Daotian!"
"Big guy, you sure look strong. I just wonder how capable you really are."
Since the other side had been rude, Li Daotian had no intention of being polite either.
"Li Daotian? Looking at that scrawny frame of yours, are you a first-year or second-year student?"
Xiong Zhuang swept his gaze over him, his eyes carrying a hint of arrogance.
"First-year."
Li Daotian replied.
"Heh heh... a first-year student? Then you're just a little runt. Your bird probably hasn't even grown feathers yet!"
Xiong Zhuang's tone grew even more disdainful.
He clearly did not take Li Daotian seriously at all.
"No rush. That sort of thing will happen sooner or later."
"But for saying that, I'm definitely going to beat you impotent today!"
Li Daotian clenched his fists and spoke coldly.
"You? Looks like Notting College really has no one left!"
"You, a first-year student, think you can beat me?"
Xiong Zhuang laughed angrily, clenching his sandbag-sized fists as a vicious gleam surfaced in his eyes.
"Enough nonsense. Let's go have a match."
Seeing how arrogant the other party was, Li Daotian decided to make his move at once. There was no need to let him keep strutting around.
[Ding, detected that Xiong Zhuang possesses an item available for theft: Brute Force Bloodline. Steal it?] [Steal!]
At the same time, Li Daotian received feedback from the system.
[Theft successful. The Brute Force Bloodline will merge with the host, strengthening the host's physique and granting brute strength.] [Xiong Zhuang has lost his Brute Force Bloodline. His bloodline will gradually atrophy, and in a few days, he will lose most of his brute strength and become an ordinary person.]
Li Daotian felt another change take place in his Bloodline and physique.
However, since he had previously fused with the Mystic Tiger Bloodline, nothing could be seen from his outward appearance.
Xiong Zhuang's body swayed for an instant. He vaguely felt as though something inside him had shrunk back, but when he examined himself carefully, he could detect nothing.
He ignored the sensation, pointed at Li Daotian, and said forcefully, "Fine. You pick the location. I'd like to see what you, this little runt, can do!"
"Later, I'll beat the shit out of you!"
Xiong Zhuang was extremely arrogant, and the five companions beside him all wore smug, mocking smiles.
They felt that Notting College's six students were bound to lose, and that they would be thoroughly beaten besides.
Principal Su had wanted to stop them. But when his gaze fell on Li Daotian, Li Daotian nodded at him, signaling for him not to worry, so he did not intervene.
"Xiong Zhuang, bring your people and follow me."
Li Daotian headed toward the school lawn.
Xiao Wu, Xiao Chenyu, and the others followed behind him.
"Teacher, I'll go teach this brat a lesson and let him see how powerful Luotian City Spirit Master Academy is!"
Xiong Zhuang said this to the Team Leader, then immediately led his five companions after them.
Principal Su and the others followed as well.
On the lawn, the two groups stood apart.
Li Daotian led one side, while Xiong Zhuang led the other.
"Little runt, I think you're too weak to be worth my personal effort. Let one of my brothers play with you instead. If you cry after getting beaten, just beg for mercy, and I might let you off."
Xiong Zhuang pointed at Li Daotian, his attitude even more overbearing.
As he spoke, a rather large student stepped out from behind him. He was also five feet seven, with an ordinary face but rather sinister eyes. He looked like he had something up his sleeve.
"Boss, they're being way too arrogant. How about I take this match?"
Xiao Chenyu looked over the situation, unable to stand it any longer, and stepped forward.
"Do you think you can beat him?"
Li Daotian pointed at the student who had stepped out.
There was an evil aura around the other boy. He had definitely awakened some special Martial Soul and could not be underestimated.
Xiao Chenyu's Martial Soul was the Wolf. Without sufficient skill, he would be completely crushed.
"Brother Tian, how about I go?"
Xiao Wu volunteered.
As she looked at that student, flecks of red light glimmered in her large eyes.
"No, I'll handle this myself!"
Li Daotian did not want Xiao Wu brawling with other boys, so he decided to take action personally.
"Stop dawdling. Hurry up."
The student on the other side seemed somewhat impatient. He waved his fist and spoke coldly.
Li Daotian stepped forward.
The instant he moved, the student abruptly launched an attack, throwing a punch straight at Li Daotian.
A sneak attack!
Li Daotian had been prepared. Keeping his eyes and ears open, he shifted his feet and evaded the ambush.
At the same time, he circled behind his opponent and threw a punch at the boy's ribs.
"Return the courtesy!"
Li Daotian shouted angrily.
He was faster, and though his fist looked small, it was in truth like an iron hammer swinging through the air.
His punch struck the student in the ribs, sending him flying.
"Ow!"
A pained cry rang out as the student fell to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face.
That punch was more than he could bear.
But his eyes instantly turned pitch-black, and Soul Power began to surge from his body.
He leaped to his feet and shouted coldly, "Netherworld Panther Possession!"
In an instant, dark energy began to cling to his body. Claws and paw pads appeared on his hands, while his eyes became black and carried an eerie, wicked air.
"Kid, that punch hurt me. I'll make you pay in blood!"
"Take a taste of the Netherworld Panther Claws!"
The other boy gave an evil smile and pounced toward Li Daotian like a swift cheetah.
